Salford Central formerly Salford (New Bailey Street) formerly Salford
(1838 - )
The railway station opened on May 29 1838 as a terminus on the Manchester and Bolton Railway and was originally named Salford railway station. In 1843, a connection to Manchester
Victoria was built, Between April 1858 and August 1865, to avoid confusion with Salford (Oldfield Rd), the station was named Salford (New Bailey Street), after which it reverted
its original name of Salford. To avoid confusion with the newly built Salford Crescent station, in 1988 it was renamed Salford Central
For many years, the station was served at peak times only but now the ticket office is manned throughout the day for six days a week. It is closed late evenings and on Sundays, so tickets must be purchased on the train at these times. The ticket hall is connected to the platforms via inclined ramps that are suitable for mobility-impaired users. There are shelters and snack/drink vending machines at platform level, along with timetable posters, digital display screens and automated announcements to provide train running information
The station has a frequent service on weekdays and Saturdays (typically 6 trains per hour each way), with all trains to and from Manchester Victoria calling here. Since the summer 2018 timetable,all trains between Salford Crescent and Victoria now call here
